Table 1 Augmenter of liver regeneration from yeast to man
Homo Sapiens (Human)Mus Musculus (Mouse)Rattus Norvegicus (Rat)Saccharomyces cerevisae (Yeast)
DescriptionAugmenter of liver regeneration (ALR)/growth factor, erv1 (S. cerevisiae)-like (augmenter of liver regeneration) (GFER)/ hepatic regenerative stimulation substance (HSS)/hepatopoietin (HPO)Augmenter of liver regeneration (Alr)/growth factor, erv1 (S. cerevisiae)- like (augmenter of liver regeneration) (Gfer)Augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR)/ growth factor, erv1 (S. cerevisiae)-like (augmenter of liver regeneration) (Gfer)Saccharomyces cerevisiae ERV1 (scERV1)/flavin-linked sulfhydryl oxidase localized to the mitochondrial intermembrane space, has a role in the maturation of cytosolic iron-sulphur proteins; ortholog of human hepatopoietin (ALR)
